Hearing and Doing the Word
19 (A)Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person (B)be quick to hear, (C)slow to speak, (D)slow to anger; 20 for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. 21 Therefore (E)put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with (F)meekness the implanted word, (G)which is able to save your souls.
22 But be (H)doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. 24 For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. 25 But the one who looks into the perfect law, (I)the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, (J)he will be blessed in his doing.

The Lord's Chosen Servant
42 (A)Behold (B)my servant, whom I uphold,
my chosen, (C)in whom my soul delights;
(D)I have put my Spirit upon him;
(E)he will bring forth justice to the nations.
2 He will not cry aloud or lift up his voice,
or make it heard in the street;
3 (F)a bruised reed he will not break,
and a faintly burning wick he will not quench;
(G)he will faithfully bring forth justice.
4 He will not grow faint or be discouraged[a]
till he has established justice in the earth;
and (H)the coastlands wait for his law.

Romans 10:12-18
English Standard Version
12 (A)For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; (B)for the same Lord is Lord of all, (C)bestowing his riches on all who call on him. 13 For (D)“everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him (E)of whom they have never heard?[a] And how are they to hear (F)without someone preaching? 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, (G)“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” 16 But (H)they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, (I)“Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” 17 So (J)faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
